Our Mission

Fulfillment Fund works to make college a reality for students growing up in educationally and economically under-resourced communities. Together, we build pathways to college, navigate educational barriers, create support networks, and empower future leaders.

Stories of Success

“I know that I owe much of my success to the Fulfillment Fund and especially to my Fulfillment Fund mentor Dee and her husband Mike. My mother Josefina’s unconditional support and love is also irreplaceable and continues to be necessary.”

Judith
Fulfillment Fund Alumna

“Mentoring is one of the most meaningful things I’ve ever done. I believe we need to do more to educate kids, and if I can be a small part of that, I wanted to take the opportunity. It’s been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. My mentee Maxx is such a great guy and being in his life in this capacity has been incredibly rewarding.”

“Without the Fulfillment Fund, I would be unable to navigate through college. I still receive help and information when I need it which makes me less anxious about my college life. It gives me a sense of peace and security, realizing that I am not alone in this journey.”

“Fulfillment Fund has helped me academically, financially and emotionally through my college. Without their support I probably would have missed out on so many of the wonderful my experiences I’ve had during my college career.”

“Fulfillment Fund has been a very important program for me because they help me and have helped many students achieve the opportunity of entering college. Fulfillment Fund has also provided me with many important opportunities so that I can preserve on these last years of high school and make the most out of myself.”
